【Yuto Mikazuki】Male
Race: Human (Reincarnator)
Age: 7 (before reincarnation) -> 32 (after reincarnation)
Title: Yuto, the Black Moon Swordsman

【Personality】
His long black hair is shoulder-length and slightly unkempt. His deep, jet-black eyes are cold and hold a somewhat lonely light. Due to the abuse he suffered from his father before reincarnating, he cannot easily trust adults or others and relies only on himself to live. He extremely dislikes depending on anyone and maintains his independence. There is a huge gap between his mental age and his appearance, which makes it difficult for him to coexist well with others.

【Catchphrases】
"Only my sword will not betray me."
"I don't do small talk."
"...I just have to win."

【Mel Aria】(Female)
Race: Half-human (Reincarnator)
Age: 10 (before reincarnation) -> Unknown (appearance remains 10 years old)
Body: Half-doll (a magical body using her soul as a medium)
Titles: 'Laughing Magic Girl,' 'Mistress of Never Island,' 'Smiling Puppeteer,' among many others.

【Personality】
At first glance, she is polite and always maintains a gentle tone and a smile, but deep down her emotions are cold and twisted. She has lost her concept of good and evil and feels no guilt in 'breaking' or 'dominating' things. The memory of dying alone in her previous life remains deeply rooted, leading her to believe that 'people lie' and 'love disappears,' making her unable to trust anyone. That is why she tries to 'keep them by her side, even if it means breaking them.' While she seeks companions and friends, a part of her heart has given up on 'truly connecting with anyone.' That is why she tries to control everything.

【Catchphrases】
"Hey, will you smile for me?"
"Don't betray me... please, stay with me forever."
"Dolls... don't cry, you know. That's why I like them."
"I'll be your friend. You don't have to move. As long as you keep smiling forever, that's all that matters."

【Hero Ares (Real Name: Taiga Nanjo)】(Male)
・Race: Human (Reincarnated)
・Age: 14 (before reincarnation) -> 18 (after reincarnation)
・Title: Reincarnated Hero Ares

【Personality】
A middle school student from modern Japan, hailing from Osaka. He had excellent grades but was neglected at home and severely bullied at school. The game 'Legend of Brave Regalia' was his only solace. In despair, he committed suicide by jumping in front of a train after school, only to awaken and find himself reincarnated as 'Hero Ares' in the world of the game he used to play.

【Catchphrases】
"This is my world. I am the rules."
"I'm not going back to being 'the me from back then.'"

【Protagonist: Mamoru】(Male)
・Race: Goblin (Reincarnator)
・Age: Human life 38 years old -> After reincarnation 6 years old (monster years)
・Title: Goblin Knight -> Goblin Lord (Scheduled for evolution)

【Personality】
He was once the weakest boss, a Hobgoblin, but by sharing a soul with the human Mamoru, he evolved a second time. As a Goblin Knight, he desires more than anything to be a shield for his comrades. Cautious and skilled in tactics, he possesses the qualities of a leader. He is deeply trusted by his companions. His only flaw is that he's a bit stiff and doesn't get jokes easily.

【Likes】
Pork cutlets (currently living a life of abstinence as Defray, who forbids pork, is present). Japanese set meals and beer (only reminisces).
【Dislikes】
All insects (gets goosebumps just by looking at them). Pickled plums (cannot stand sour things).

【Tiris Ernhardt】(Female)
・Race: Dark Elf
・Age: 142 years old (a young adult by Elf standards, early 20s in human terms)
・Title: Dark Elf -> Arc Elf (Scheduled for evolution)

【Personality】
Tiris is serious, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is always calm and composed. She is strict with herself and others, a stickler who values the pride of the Elves and the laws of the forest above all else. However, deep down she dreams of 'coexistence with other races,' and her heart begins to waver after meeting the protagonist and his friends. She is especially drawn to Mamoru (the Hobgoblin), initially holding hostility toward him but gradually being attracted to his intelligence and words. Her weakness is that she is bad at hiding her shyness, and her ears quickly turn red. She has returned to Mamoru's side.

【Likes】
Fruits (especially berries from the forest). Vegetables (has an attachment to the herbs she grows herself). Bow maintenance, morning meditation, moon bathing.

【Dislikes】
Slimy things (Slimes, okra, natto, etc.). People who are direct with their emotions (especially finds Koni-chan difficult). Magically powered machines (feels they are 'against nature').

【Defray】(Male)
・Race: Orc (Physical type)
・Age: Mid-20s in Orc years
・Title: Orc Paladin -> Orc Lord (Scheduled for evolution)

【Personality】
Usually has a laid-back way of speaking and is a big brother type who never loses his hearty smile. Cooking is his life, and he's more driven by the desire to 'have everyone eat delicious food' than by fighting. That said, once a battle begins, his figure healing allies and standing firm on the front lines with his shield is truly that of a paladin. 'Love' is his catchphrase when it comes to cooking, and when he gets angry, his fists fly as he yells, "You're lackin' love!" Surprisingly, he's easily moved to tears.

【Likes】
All meat (especially beef, deer, and boar). Grilled food (is particular about charcoal). ※However, he will absolutely not eat pork, as it is considered a sacred being.
【Dislikes】
All insects (crushes them on sight). Seeing bug dishes makes him sick for days.

【Amy】(Female)
・Race: Lizardman (Magic type)
・Age: 18 in Lizardman years
・Title: Lizard Sage -> High Lizard (Scheduled for evolution)

【Personality】
A cool female mage who is always calm and rarely shows her emotions. She is deeply trusted by her companions but carries a somewhat mysterious air. She speaks little, giving only the bare minimum of instructions, but there is no waste in her words. A rationalist, she wields magic with calm precision even in battle.

Her favorite book is the 'Phantom Insect Encyclopedia.' She spends her free time gazing at insect specimens but never speaks of their charm to anyone. Her knowledge of insects and magic is second to none in the party.

【Likes】
All insects (for both eating and viewing). She catches them with her long tongue. River fish, shellfish (especially likes to eat them alive).
【Dislikes】
All meat (finds it unacceptable as a food culture). Especially dislikes the meat of mammals.

【Koni-chan】(Probably Male)
・Race: Troll (Fire magic type)
・Age: 31 in Troll years
・Title: Flame Troll -> Troll Inferno (Scheduled for evolution)

【Personality】
Despite his huge body and immense strength, his personality is as innocent as a child's. He's curious about everything and wants to befriend everyone right away. He has affectionately given Mamoru the nickname 'Ma-mo-kun,' calls Defray 'Pig,' and Amy 'Lizard.' Evolving into a fire type has further increased his passionate power, but he's not good with details. He gets embarrassed easily when praised. He loves 'warm meals' and has a great fondness for Defray's cooking.

【Likes】
Human flesh (instinctively likes it, but is stopped by Mamoru). Grilled dishes, spicy food. ※Since Mamoru told him 'You're fired if you eat humans,' he has been making do with dried meat.

【Dislikes】
Fish (dislikes them for being slimy). Insects (recognizes them as enemies, not food).
